Jurgen Klinsmann was sacked as USA manager




Jurgen Klinsmann
Former Germany player and manager Jurgen Klinsmann has been sacked as coach of the United States. 

 The 52-year-old, who won the World cup as a player with Germany in 1990, assumed control as US manager in 2011. 

 "it is certain we have quality players to help us progress to Russia 2018," said US Soccer president Sunil Gulati. 

 "In any case, the form and development of the team up to this point left us persuaded that we have to go in an alternate direction." 

 Klinsmann steered the United States to the last 16 at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil subsequent to completing above Portugal in their group. 

 Notwithstanding, they lost 2-1 at home to Mexico and 4-0 away to Costa Rica in their opening two qualifying matches for the 2018 competition. 

 The US are pointless and base of the six-nation qualifying group,below any semblance of Panama and Honduras, yet just a fifth of the path through the qualifying process. 

 "With the following qualifying match in late march, we have several months to refocus," included Gulati. 

 "We have to decide the most ideal route forward to guarantee a fruitful trip to meet all requirements for our eighth back to back World cup." 

 former Tottenham striker Klinsmann was connected with the England job after Sam Allardyce left his post in September. 


 Klinsmann has had some nice results as US head coach at the end of the day an excessive number of mishaps and this was an ideal opportunity to pull the plug. 

 It now looks like Bruce Arena, the former US coach, most recently of LA Galaxy, will take over. Arena was head coach between 1998 and 2006 and maybe it is time to go back and do things the American way. 

 I think it's an admission that the experiment with Klinsmann didn't work. Everyone remembers what he did with Germany in 2006 and the free flowing and attacking football they played. 

 People expected him to come in and do the same with the US. The problem is the US is not blessed with the same kind of players as that Germany squad - or any Germany squad.

 That is really where the downfall came. The way Klinsmann wanted to play, the players he had couldn't play that way. 

 It created tension within the camp and it created a little bit of a rift between some of the German-American players he had brought in and some of the more traditional American players.
conventional American players.
